Abstract

Carbocyclic four-membered ring compounds have emerged from the provenance of pure academic fascination to important building blocks in organic synthesis. Although a number of cyclobutane derivatives are readily available through a variety of ring formation reactions, many synthetic routes still rely on the transformation of existing cyclobutane rings. 1 The formation of cyclobutane derivatives from substituted bicyclo [1.1. 0] butanes have been ...
